Pros

Merchant-obsessed and craft-obsessed, I loved the direction the CEO would take us on every year.

Cons

Way too much politics. It mostly comes from the non-engineering Product folks who want to toot their own horn.

Advice to Management

You measure for output and impact, but you should also measure team health. Not just those 360 reviews. If not, the company is just getting more divided.
